KITIMAT - Despite an effort by councillor
Phil Germuth, Kitimat will continue sailing
ahead on a plebiscite for the Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines proposal.
April 12 is set for the general voting day
for people to offer their opinion in an election-like setting.
However the question remains unchanged, which is a problem for Germuth and
part of the reason he set to have the process
cancelled.
District of Kitimat administration has estimated the bill to the town on holding the
plebiscite to be approximately $13,500.
Corinne Scott voted with Germuth in cancelling the plebiscite, while the remainder
were in favour. Rob Goffinet is out of town
and so was not in attendance for the meeting
on March 3.
Germuth didn’t mince words in describing his opinion of the question at hand for
April.
“The community came out and told us
the questions stink and yet we completely ignored it,” he said to applause in the gallery of
people watching the meeting. “So how you
can say you care about the feel of the community? Not one person came up to the mic and
said ‘oh I think it’s a great question, I think

you’re doing a good job.’”
Germuth was reacting to the majority of
council saying they want to proceed on the
plebiscite to know how the community feels
about the project.
“I’m quite interested in determining to
what extent our community is divided...hopefully we’ll get a strong turn-out at the plebiscite,” he said.
He adds that he wants the results to be
forwarded to senior levels of government.
Mary Murphy feels that the process is
worthwhile, also noting that the price tag for
the plebiscite works out to $1.50 a person.
She said holding the plebiscite is giving
residents their right to voice their opinion.
Edwin Empinado said that while he had
initially wanted the cheaper mail-out option, he later came to realize cost wasn’t what
is important, and says council should push
through on a plebiscite, as it will be important
knowledge for council.
But for Corinne Scott meanwhile isn’t
convinced the plebiscite will benefit anyway.
“At this point, as much as we wanted to
know what the feeling of the community is,
all that we know so far is that we’re split,” she
said.
She added that if just 50 per cent of eligible voters turn out they still won’t have a good
idea of the community opinion on the pipeline project.

VICTORIA – Hundreds of people gathered on the lawn of the
B.C. legislature Tuesday to call
for the provincial government to
cancel its cuts to lower-usage ferry runs set to take effect in April.
Among the speakers at the
rally were Victoria Mayor Dean
Fortin and Sheila Malcolmson,
chair of the Islands Trust, the local government for the Gulf Islands.
Malcolmson told a cheering
crowd that the taxpayer subsidy
to BC Ferries has been overemphasized. She said since the B.C.
Liberal government took office
in 2001, ferry users have paid $5
billion in fares, while taxpayers
have subsidized the operation by
$1 billion.
Transportation Minister Todd
Stone said he welcomes protesters exercising their freedom of

speech, but the intention to cut
$18.9 million from low-usage
routes was made clear before
the 2013 election. The provincial subsidy to coastal ferries has
increased by almost $90 million
over three years, and cost reductions are needed to keep fares
from rising further, he said.
“There are too many sailings
on the BC Ferries system with
utilization rates in the low teens
and single digits, and I think
British Columbians support us in
believing that is not sustainable,”
Stone said. “There are more
staff than cars and passengers on
many of these sailings.”
Opposition critics resumed
their focus on the impact of ferry cuts in the legislature Tuesday.
NDP leader Adrian Dix called on
the government to do an economic impact study on tourism and
other business in coastal communities.
Dix quoted Premier Christy

North Coast
MLA Jennifer
Rice joined
thousands
of protesters in front
of the B.C.
legislature in
Victoria on
Tuesday. Protesters were
calling for
the provincial
government
to cancel its
proposed BC
Ferries cuts to
lower-usage
ferry runs that
will take effect
on April 1.
Rice is pictured with a
protester from
the island.

Clark from her radio talk show in
2008, where she argued that fare
hikes were reaching the point
where they would produce net
revenue loss.
North Island MLA Claire
Trevena, the NDP critic on ferries, reminded Stone that replacing the Queen of Chilliwack with
the much smaller, open-decked
MV Nimpkish on the summer
run from Bella Bella to Bella
Coola has been greeted with dismay by tourism operators.
Stone said the existing service to Bella Coola carries about
500 vehicles during a 13-week
season, with a public subsidy that
works out to $2,500 per vehicle
carried.
Trevena suggested that given
the lack of facilities on the Nimpkish for a sailing of more than
nine hours, an ad campaign for
the Discovery Coast ferry route
might include the slogan, “coming soon, drinkable water.”

Anti-bullying play in works
By Cameron Orr

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

KITIMAT - John-Mark Raddatz
is looking for a few more students
to fill out a Welcoming Communities’ hosted anti-bullying play
in Kitimat.
In early April the community
will be invited out to a play, written locally by Angela Schmidt,
and will cover themes of combating bullying.
Her play is called Don’t Fight
Fire with Fire.
The basic idea of the play is
that when a bully acts out, instead
of the victims engaging with revenge, the characters instead attempt to pull the bully out of bullying behaviour.

Pharmacy

Specials!

Raddatz said a lot of the
schools are offering up students
for the cast, and they’re looking
for anyone in grade five or higher, including high school, to be involved.
The Organization Against
Hate and Racism has provided the
resources to produce this play.
Schmidt won the chance to
have her play selected for this
year’s show after a contest which
ended in January sought the writer for the production.
“We allowed students grades
seven through 12 to submit plays
to us...with at least eight characters,” said Raddatz. “Many of
them were very good.”
He said he chose a play that
was well geared to be suited to all

audiences, including elementary
school students, without being
too heavy.
The play includes 15 characters. The large cast, he said, lets
them have more participation in
the play.
Raddatz said a contest is
meanwhile still ongoing to celebrate diversity. Until August 2
people 13 and up can upload a
group picture to Instagram celebrating diversity and tag the Kitimat Inclusion and Anti-bullying
Instagram account (k_iab) for a
chance to win pizza for yourself
and three friends.
Meanwhile if people want to
get involved in the April 2 antibullying play they can contact
Raddatz at 250-639-7037.

Industry groups are opposed
to provincial recycling plan
VANCOUVER - An
alliance of business
groups opposed to the
new Multi Material BC
recycling system are demanding the province
halt the planned May 19
launch and go back to
the drawing board.
MMBC, an industry stewardship group,
is poised to take responsibility for curbside blue
box collection – with
more containers and
material types collected than before – while
charging
businesses
for the recycling of the
packaging and paper
they generate.
But it’s been in a
bitter fight with small
business groups that
complain they are set
to pay punishingly high
fees, which will then be
passed on to consumers.
The battle took a
new turn March 9, when
the Canadian Federation
of Independent Business and eight other associations launched a
campaign in B.C. newspapers and online at rethinkitbc.ca to amplify
the pressure on Victoria.
CFIB provincial affairs director Mike Klassen predicted job losses
and some business closures as a result of the
MMBC regulations and
fees.
“This is public policy run amok,” he said.
“We are asking British
Columbians to talk to
the B.C. government to
push the pause button on
its reckless and red tapeladen program.”
B.C.
Agriculture
Council vice-chair Stan
Vander Waal said farmers can’t readily stop
packaging strawberries
and blueberries in plastic clamshells, because
retailers insist that’s
what consumers want.
“We have to wear
the cost,” he said, adding MMBC fees will
cost his Chilliwack farm
$60,000 to $100,000 a
year. “It goes directly
against growing agriculture.”

per Association chairman Peter Kvarnstrom,
who is publisher of a paper in Sechelt, warned
the the new system will
be “catastrophic” to B.C.
community and daily
newspapers, resulting in
job losses in an already
challenged industry and
reduced service to communities.
The
opposition
groups say they support
the aim of the program
– to make generators of
packaging pay to recycle it – but they dispute
the fees and say multinational consumer goods
firms like Unilever and
Walmart control MMBC
and are manipulating it
to their benefit, not that
of local businesses.
Most of the fees
for container waste are
double or even quadruple what businesses in
Ontario pay to a similar
agency.
Newspapers
say
they face a $14-milliona-year bite out of their
operations because of
the 20 cents per kilogram they will pay on
newsprint, compared to
less than half a penny in
Ontario.

single-family homes.
He said B.C.’s successful container deposit system also means
there’s less recyclable
material left here for
container stewards to
collect and sell, so fees
have to be higher to cover the system costs.
Langdon said no
business is forced to join
MMBC, adding groups
like the newspaper industry are free to develop their own system.
“If they think there’s
a better way, I think it’s
important they put it forward.”
Environment Minister Mary Polak said
most businesses are exempt from the fees if
they have under $1 million of retail sales, generate less than a tonne of
material or operate out
of a single retail outlet,
while generators of one
to five tonnes per year
pay flat fees of $550 or
$1,200.
She said property taxpayers will save
money because MMBC
will now pay for recycling collection that local municipalities previously paid.

Notice of Meeting
Special Open Board Meeting

By Shaun Thomas
THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT – Prince Rupert RCMP are
asking parents to be vigilant after the attempted abduction of an 11-year-old girl on Thursday
night.
After playing at a friend’s house in the Drake
Crescent area on the evening of March 6, the girl
began walking up Drake Crescent toward Prince
Rupert Blvd. When she reached the intersection,
a man grabbed her from behind and began to pull
her into nearby bushes. Fortunately for the girl, the
suspect tripped and fell, which allowed her to break
free and run away.
Following the sound of her screams, the girl’s
friend found her unharmed.
The only description of the assailant is of a
young man who was wearing dark clothes and sunglasses.
“Given the concerning nature of what appears
to be a random incident, police are informing the
community of this event and ask that they remain
vigilant when out and about,” said Const. Matt Ericson of the Prince Rupert RCMP.
“Currently the matter is under investigation,
and we are asking the public to report any persons
acting suspiciously around young people.”
The attempted abduction prompted a phone call
from the Prince Rupert School District to all parents, alerting them to the incident. Superintendent
Sandy Jones said although not done on a regular basis, situations like this warrant a blanket call.
“We were working closely with the RCMP on
that. We received notice of a complaint from the
RCMP and decided to send out a call to everyone to
make sure people were aware,” she said, noting the
district is not taking any further action unless advised of another similar case by the RCMP.
“We thought better to be safe than sorry.”
Anyone with information about this incident is
asked to call the RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

cat, with a personality to match! She loves to
be pet and is very friendly! Betsy is a clean

Environmental Assessment of the Proposed
Prince Rupert LNG

Open House and Invitation to Comment
BG Group (Proponent) is proposing to construct and operate
a liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility on Ridley Island near
Prince Rupert, British Columbia (proposed Project). The
proposed Project would liquefy natural gas and transfer it to
ships for transport to market. The proposed Project consists
of two LNG processing units, two LNG storage tanks and an
LNG shipping terminal with a total capacity of 14 million
tonnes per annum (mtpa).

The intention of seeking public comments is to ensure that
all potential effects – environmental, economic, social,
heritage and health – that might result from the proposed
Project are identified for consideration as part of the
assessment process. At this stage of the process, the
primary intent is to receive feedback about the studies or
information required for a comprehensive environmental
assessment.

The proposed Project is subject to review under British
Columbia’s Environmental Assessment Act and the Canadian
Environmental Assessment Act.

After taking public comments into account, EAO will finalize
the Application Information Requirements and issue them to
the Proponent.

The Proponent must obtain an environmental assessment
certificate before any work can be undertaken on the
proposed Project. However, prior to submission of an
application (Application) for a certificate by the Proponent,
Environmental Assessment Office of British Columbia (EAO)
must first approve Application Information Requirements.

The Application Information Requirements will specify the
studies to be conducted and the detailed information to be
provided by the Proponent in its Application. EAO has now
received draft Application Information Requirements from the
Proponent and invites comments on this draft.
In order to provide information about the Application
Information Requirements EAO invites the public to attend an
Open House. There will be two Open Houses, to be held as
follows:
at:
Community Centre, 770 Pacific Ave,
Port Edward
on:
2 April 2014
from: 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
North Coast Convention Centre, 240 West 1st
Ave, Prince Rupert
on:
3 April 2014
from: 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
at:

There are 30 days for the submission of comments by the
public in relation to the draft Application Information
Requirements. The comment period will begin on 24 March
and end on 22 April 2014. All comments received during this
comment period in relation to the Application Information
Requirements will be considered.
NOTE:

• By Fax:
Fax: 250-387-0230

An electronic copy of the Application Information
Requirements and information regarding the environmental
assessment process are available at www.eao.gov.bc.ca.

If you are unable to participate at this time, there will be an
additional comment period during the Application Review
stage when you will also be able to provide comments to
EAO on the proposed Project.

All submissions received by EAO during the comment period in relation to the proposed Project are
considered public and will be posted to the EAO website.

Gov’t boosts preparation
VICTORIA - The provincial government hopes a campaign about to start
will improve its ability to act in the
face of a large earthquake.
The campaign will see the opinions
of all levels of government, businesses
and families and non-governmental organizations.
Activities will focus on those re-

gions at the highest risk of an earthquake.
A final report is to be submitted to
the provincial justice ministry by the
end of the year.
The province will also launch a
public education campaign to get more
people prepared to take action and to
prepare for an earthquake.

NORTHWEST
TRANSMISSION LINE
Snowmobiler and Winter Recreation Users
Public Safety Notice
Snowmobilers and winter recreationalists (cross country
skiers, snow shoers, etc.) should be aware that the Northwest
Transmission Line (NTL) is under construction, and the NTL
right-of-way remains a construction zone with restricted
access. This is required to avoid safety risks associated with
such things as unmarked guy lines, construction materials
and other potential hazards along the right-of-way, as well as
for public and worker safety as construction activities
continue.
In particular, over the past year many of the transmission
structures for the NTL project have been installed. Most of
these structures are supported by currently unmarked guy
lines which can be very difficult to see against a snow
background.
Please avoid using the right-of-way for your activities. If you
are in the area, take extra care when travelling in the vicinity
of the transmission structures.
If you have any questions, please contact BC Hydro

Access to Exstew camp site may be lost
By Martina Perry
The Northern connector

PRINCE RUPERT – Access
to the Exstew River Recreation
Site is in jeopardy, with CN
planning to put up a locked gate
on the road leading to the area
if an agreement isn’t reached
before the end of the month.
CN erected a sign beside
its private crossing, which intersects with the dirt road leading to the popular recreation
site, warning the public of CN’s
plans to close the crossing as of
April 1.
Emily Hamer, CN’s regional manager of public and government affairs, said the company is “currently speaking
with interested parties” to see if
another group will take over responsibility of the crossing.
“The crossing at the Exstew road is a private crossing
that intersects with a forest service road, which is under the
jurisdiction of the province. At
this time CN is clarifying who
will take responsibility for the
maintenance of the private railway crossing,” said Hamer.
The dirt roadway leading
to the site is currently under the
responsibility of Coast Tsimshian Resources (CTR), a forest company owned by the Lax
Kw’alaams First Nation band.
Although CTR holds the road
permit for the area, it doesn’t
currently have any active cut-

ting permits.
A statement from CTR said
the company has continued to
maintain the road for the benefit of recreational users, with
maintenance of the rail crossing in question being done “by
others”.
“CTR has no economic
reason to keep the road permit open, but for goodwill we
have maintained portions of
the road for the past four years
to allowed continued public access to the Forest Service camp
ground,” said Dave Jackson of
CTR.
“Perhaps the Forest Service may wish to take over the
crossing and establish the road
tenure as a forest service road
to ensure the public has continued access ... as recreational access may be impacted by such
a closure, CTR is hopeful that
CN will seek an arrangement
that will continue to keep this
crossing open,” read the statement.
The Exstew River Recreation Site is under the jurisdiction of British Columbia’s
Ministry of Forests, Lands and
Natural Resource Operations
(FLNRO). Ministry spokesperson Greig Bethel confirmed
CN has spoken to the ministry
about taking over responsibility
over the last few months, however at this time it will not be
doing so.
“If for some reason in the

CN Rail may erect a gate that would block access to the
Exstew River forestry camp site.
future Coast Tsimshian decides
they no longer want that road
permit, the ministry would look
at options at that time,” said
Bethel.
Hamer said if an agreement
is not in place by April 1 CN
will close the crossing with a
locked gate, to the disappointment of many longtime users.
North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice said she has received many calls and emails
about the potential closure and
has been working with Skeena MLA Robin Austin on the
issue.
“We are clear in understanding that the site is very
important to local Terrace and
Prince Rupert residents who
have enjoyed the area with their

www.bandstra.com

family for many years,” said
Rice, who believes it would
be “hugely problematic” if the
crossing was gated.
“At this stage we have to
wait and see what Coast Tsimshian Resources’ intentions
are ... if this comes to the point
where the road is gated, Skeena MP Robin Austin and I are
definitely going to be proactive in lobbying the provincial government to keep the
site open and take on the responsibility of the road,” she
continued.
“We’re hoping it doesn’t
get to that because the government has been talking about times of austerity and budgets are all really
squeezed.”

“With all the ups and downs over the years, it’s been
tough for Kitimat. We need some stability. We need to
know that everything’s going to be good for a long time,
not just a year or two.
The Northern Gateway project will bring that stability.
I’m glad it’s going to bring jobs, but also training.
Wouldn’t it be great if our kids could get more education
here, rather than heading off to Vancouver or Calgary?
For me, the best thing about living in Kitimat is that you
can go hiking or fishing on your way home from work.
It’s a special place to live.
But without jobs and stability, I worry that my kids and
grandkids won’t be able to live here with me. And that’s
what I want more than anything.
So I’m voting yes.”

PRINCE RUPERT - Lax Kw’alaams Mayor Garry
Reece wants to make it clear that none of the multiple energy projects proposed for the North Coast
have yet gained the band’s approval.
Reece said the band has put together a team of
science and business advisers to look at the projects,
but the band is not ready to put their stamp of approval on any of them just yet.
“Each project will be assessed on the benefits
and risks that it may bring to Lax Kw’alaams. The
Lax Kw’alaams membership is unified in the belief
that any project must protect our marine resources
and accord with our traditions and our respect for the
environment,” he said.
“Lax Kw’alaams is open for business on the
right terms. Any partnerships we engage in must satisfy the social, economic, traditional and environmental requirements of the Band and membership ...
our goal is to ensure that the projects we support are
for the northwest, not just in the Northwest.”

One project Reece addressed specifically is the
oil refinery proposed for Grassy Point by Eagle
Spirit Energy. The company held a meeting in Lax
Kw’alaams to discuss the project on Oct. 4, but Reece said that meeting was very preliminary in nature.
“The Lax Kw’alaams Band Council offered the
company’s representatives the opportunity to meet
with members of the community to present their proposal. However, we want to clarify that this was not
an acceptance of the proposal,” said Reece.
“Eagle Spirit has no authority to enter into agreements on behalf of the Lax Kw’alaams, nor does
Eagle Spirit have the authority to speak for the Lax
Kw’alaams Council or membership.”
As well as the oil refinery, Woodside LNG, Aurora LNG and Enbridge have expressed interest in
developing LNG across from Lax Kw’alaams.

Terrace chamber of commerce seeks Enbridge opinions
TERRACE - The Terrace business community can now have its say
on Enbridge’s Northern
Gateway project thanks
to an online survey
hosted by the Terrace
and District Chamber of
Commerce.
The survey, several
months in the planning and posted March
5, follows the Decem-

ber 2013 release of an
environmental review
which recommended
the federal government
approve the project subject to Enbridge fulfilling 209 conditions.
In February 2012,
just after Terrace city
council voted to oppose Northern Gateway,
the chamber executive
released a letter saying that while it took
a neutral stance to the
pipeline project until

the review panel released its report, it did
welcome new industry
to the area.
Chamber executive
director Carol Fielding
said it seemed overall
opinion on the Gateway project to pump
Alberta crude to an
export terminal at Kitimat is divided and that
the chamber’s board of
directors decided a survey was one method of
finding out the opinion

of the organization’s
nearly 300 members.
“The few we heard
from some supported,
some didn’t and asked
why did you write the
letter. So it said to us
that we should canvas
our members to see
what they think,” said
Fielding.
She also said that the
survey results will only
be considered valid and
the results released to
the public if more than

50 per cent of the members respond.
Even if the number
of surveys submitted is
under that, the chamber
board will still release
a position statement on
the Gateway project,
Fielding said.
Chamber members
can respond to the 11
statements in the survey
only once.

TERRACE - A Vancouver public relations firm
specializing in natural resource issues has
opened an office in Terrace to expand its northwest client base.
“The northern regions of the province
are the economic powerhouses for the next
generation of British
Columbians. We pride
ourselves on our work
in the communities
where our business is
generated,” said PR Associates president Robert Simpson.
He said the company keys on the concept of “social licence,”
the requirement that
companies nowadays
need broad-based community support for any
project they wish to undertake.
As such, PR Associates works to bridge
any gaps between companies and community
groups and individuals,
Simpson added.
The company’s cli-

ent list in the region
includes the Tahltan
Nation
Development
Corporation, which is
the business arm of the
Tahltan people, and
Seabridge Gold, which
wants to open a large
gold mine northwest of
Stewart.
The company also
worked with the Tahltan Central Council in
the lead up to voting
by Tahltan to approve
of economic benefits
packages arising from
two AltaGas run-of-river projects within Tahltan traditional territory.
And it also worked
with the council on the
vote by Tahltan people
to accept an economic
benefits package arising from work on BC
Hydro’s
Northwest
Transmission Line.
Both the AltaGas
and Northwest Transmission Line packages were approved by
members of the Tahltan
Nation.
PR Associates has

hired Terrace mayor
Dave Pernarowski to be
its Terrace manager and
also have an office in
Toronto.
Pernarowski
says
he’ll avoid any conflict of interest associated with his new job as
manager of the Terrace
office of a Vancouver
public relations firm.
“I would not be giving presentations to
council on behalf of a
client and would likely
even recuse myself
from a general presentation to council from
a PR Associates client
to avoid any perceived
conflict. I will always
manage this issue carefully,” said Pernarowski.
He said that same
principle would apply
to any council discussion concerning a PR
Associates client.
Pernarowski

been working since early last year for Kitsault
Energy, a company

Let’s Make Wine!

Wine N Suds
Robert Broome
OWNER

It is a fact that certain wines are more popular than others. In recent
times red wines actually have the largest and still growing following
of enthusiasts. In B.C. we take great pride in our Okanogan region
wines. Many of us believe they will compete as world class wines.
This belief was proven last year when an Okanogan wine won best
Pinot Noir in the world.
Pinot Noir is a great food wine and a popular wine for sommeliers
to recommend. Pinot Noir has a fruity flavorful back ground, mellow
tannins and light spice in the finish. These attributes make this is a
wine a with a universal flavor quality that will go with everything
from lamb or beef to chicken or fish. The best method to use a Pinot
Noir as a complementary wine to your dinner is by building the dish
you would like to serve in a simple but flavorful way, then making
a Pinot Noir based sauce and using the sauce a condiment. Herbs
like rosemary and thyme are right in this wine’s flavor wheel house.
Pinot Noir does not do well against fatty meats or certain spices in
the food. Spices like a Montreal steak spice or a fatty piece of meat
done with a heavy BBQ sauce will definitely over power Pinot Noirs
gentle nature. Here is one of the many sauce recipes easily available
online for a Pinot Noir sauce.
Recipe
• 2 TBS unsalted butter
• 1 cup Beef or Chicken Stock. Beef stock for red meat,
chicken stock for fowl.
• 3/4 Cup Pinot Noir
• 1 Tsp Whole Pepper Corns
• 1 plum tomato seeded and chopped
• ¼ Red onion sliced thin
• 1 Sprig fresh Thyme.
• 1 TBS honey
Method
Melt butter in a sauce pan add onions and cook until nicely
caramelized about 4 minutes. Add Pinot Noir keep the heat up
close to high and stir while reducing the wine for about 4 minutes.
Add stock, pepper corns, tomato, thyme and honey. Bring to boil
then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until the sauce
coats the back of a metal spoon. Remove from heat and pour sauce
through a sieve into a bowl stir the solids around until you have all
the sauce and dispose of the solids. Put a couple table spoons of
this sauce over roast beef or filet mignon maybe some duck. Serve
a glass of the Pinot Noir with your dinner and enjoy. Recipe from
Scott Hargrove.

Sallenback takes Mariner’s Bonspiel win
By Todd Hamilton

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

PRINCE RUPERT - Jim Blackstone had a
choice in the third end of the 63rd Annual
Prince Rupert Marine Bonspiel and it was a
classic choice — risk versus reward.
He took the risk but wasn’t rewarded.
Prince Rupert’s Blackstone rink and
Terrace’s Chad Sallenback exchanged singles in the first two ends of the A Event Final on Sunday.
When the smoke cleared in the third,
Sallenback had all but locked up his fourth
title.
Sallenback, who had the hammer in the
third and lying four, made a choice to cut off
a runback attempt and instead played into
Blackstone’s strength by forcing Blackstone
to attempt a risky freeze draw to Sallenback’s shot stone at the back of the button.
“We had two choices and we couldn’t
block all of them” Sallenback said.
“I guess we played right into his strength
from what we heard ... I knew if he made it
we were pretty much done and he’d steal on
us.”
Halfway down the sheet, Blackstone’s
freeze attempt was just slightly too heavy
and refused to curl up.
His stone bumped off the shot stone and

rolled to second shot.
But Blackstone’s stone was wide open
and lonely with five other Sallenback rocks
in the rings.
“He had that freeze to the back button,
but it just hung out there and stayed straight.
We were able to double it back and get a little inside roll ... the rest was history. It was a
pretty big end for us,” Sallenback said.
Blackstone picked up a single in the
fourth before taking off the gloves, shaking
hands and handing Sallenback a 7-2 victory.
This was Sallenback’s third title in four
years and fourth overall dating back to 2005.
He was the B Event champion in 2013. Sallenback’s rink consisted of Lead Dave Reniero, Second Shane Dejong and Third
Mike Dahms.
In the B Event Final, Al Parker of Smithers picked up three in the first and stole two
in the fourth on the way to a 8-6 win over
Dan Fisher of Terrace.
In the C Event Final, John Evans of Terrace fought back from an early 3-1 deficit
with a steal of two in the fifth to defeat Al
Bowles, also of Terrace, 7-4.
In the D Event Final, Prince Rupert’s
Travis Bernhardt picked up three in the first
end and then added steals of one in the second and third ends to double up Jun Yamamoto of Prince Rupert 6-3.

Points North swimmers make a splash at provincials

THE NORTHERN CONNECTOR

CHILLIWACK - Points North
swimmers raced a successful AA
short course (25 metre pool) provincial championships in Chilliwack
over the March 1 weekend, sending a total of 14 swimmers from
Terrace, Kitimat, Prince Rupert and
Smithers to the annual event.
And these northwest swimmers
took home six medals, including
two gold, two silver and two bronze.
The championships saw over
400 swimmers from 44 teams in attendance. It was the largest attended AA Provincial championships in
many years. To attend, swimmers
must make the BC AA standards in
two events but have less than two
BC AAA time standards (the highest provincial qualifying time).
This makes for extremely close
racing at the championships.
The Kitimat Marlins had seven
swimmers attend, and they didn’t
disappoint.
Zachary Dumas (14) competing in the boys 14 and over boys age
group took the gold medal in the
200 meter butterfly. His time in the
event was the 43rd fastest time posted in Canada for a 14 year old boy
this season. Dumas also achieved
his second AAA time in the 400
individual medley placing fourth.
With two AAA times he is now eligible to attend the AAA BC championships in Victoria in July. He
also placed fifth in the 200 backstroke, and seventh in the 100 fly.

Ben Anker (15) also competing
in the 14 and over boys division also
qualified for the BC AAA Championships in July by achieving his
first two AAA time standards in
the 200 breaststroke and 400 IM.
Anker took the silver medal in the
200 breast and bronze medal in the
400 IM. Anker also placed fourth in
the 200 backstroke and 100 breaststroke and 6th in the 1500 freestyle.
Hannah Pearson (11) competing in the girls 11 and under division
achieved her first two AAA time

fly. Ethan Velho (13) competing in
the 12-13 boys division had three
top eight finishes. Velho placed
sixth in the 200 backstroke, seventh
in the 200 fly and eighth in the 1500
free.
Robyn Alderman (17) competing in the 14 and over girls division placed eighth in the 100 breaststroke and achieved personal best
times in five of her events.
Morgan Winterburn (13) competing in the 12-13 girls division
achieved personal best times in four

standards in the 400 IM and the 200
butterfly. Unfortunately she ages up
so will not be eligible to attend the
AAA championships in Victoria in
July. She took the bronze medal in
the 400 IM and placed fourth in the
200 butterfly. Pearson also placed
eigth in the 800 freestyle.
Leah Desousa (11) competing
in the 11 and under girls division
achieved her first BC AAA provincial time in the 200 butterfly and
took the silver medal in the process.
Desousa also placed sixth in the 100

of her events with her biggest improvement coming in the 400 meter
freestyle, an eight second improvement.
And the Terrace Bluebacks also
saw gold, with veteran Blueback
Thomas Christensen taking gold in
the 100m Breast Stroke.
The other Blueback Athletes attending were Jade Heathfield who
swam a number of best times despite battling sickness for most
February, and Raychel Davies who
swam a best time in her 200 Back.

While you’re not looking,
this is what’s happening
to BC’s world renowned
recycling program.

Well, lookie here.
One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling
program. The next, something new and rather questionable
is being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it
right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion.
That’s definitely not democracy in action.
The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best
interests, has decided to offload the costs of recycling to big
multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan,
they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold
the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the
Blue Box program, close to its heart.

Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected officials
are using the word “scam” to describe how the new
program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several
of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board.
That’s gotta tell you something.
Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know
what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling
an already-working recycling
program to replace it with
something that few people think
will be as good, is a bad idea.

What’s going on here?
